Messrs. stephens and NICK in
ney Throw Some Light
ON Ii.

ED. APPEAL We wish to make
some statements in your paper re-
garding the planting of fish at Lake
Tahoe:
Last Summer we were hired by
Cap. Todman to plant fish in the
Lake and ran a fish hatchery for
him at salary of $75 a month
apiece. We worked three months
and have only got 500, to date.
However this is merely a matter
between us and Todman, what we
wish to do is to show the people of
Nevada how the Tahoe fish are be-
ing distributed under Todman's in
structions. We built a fish hatch
cry at Tahoe City. We then went
to various places about the Lake to
seine young trout and secure spawn
but no one on the California side
would allow us to operate. We
then were obliged to get spawn on
the Nevada side.
Todman agreed to plant the fish
on the Nevada side of the Lake
but in no instance did he do this.
They were all planted on the Cali
fornia side from spawn gathered in
Nevada. For years California has
come to Nevada to gather spawn
and the spawn is carried over to
the California side, Matched and
utilized there. This has been 60
ing on for fifteen years and is still
going on. Most of the spawn We
secured was at the foot of Hobert &
Marlett's Incline and this spawn
when Matched out for Todman all
went to the California side.

A QUEER PERFORMANCE
A Lady Assaulted In Her own
House.

Night before last Mrs. Anderson,
wife of the sign painter, went to
DIR. Herrick's to make call and
on her return found a man standing
by her door. She said, "What do
you want STRIP. He asked if An
derson was in and she replied,
"My husband is in Reno"
"Y QUILL do Just as well, come
in" was his answer.
As he was a stranger she de-
clned and he began urging her to
come in the house. He then
stepped up and seized her by the
wrist. She called for help and 1t
happened that Charlie Thompson
was passing and came to the rescue.
AS he came up toward the house
he saw a man sneaking behind a
tree. AS Thompson approached
he ran away, but Thompson over
took and captured him. The man
who was first seen by Mrs. Ander-
son, made his escape. She gave
the police full description of the
man who escaped and he is pretty
well located. The man who is now
in Jail seems to be acting as a con-
federate.

A Chicago Paper Thinks ID
has Got ON the Dead
unSihR

Inside.
The Chicago Herald publishes the
following about the late unlamented
wheat deal:
On August 18th, 1875, the Bank
of California collapsed by the
Vaccinations of the Bank of Nevada
crowd. Some dozens of people OF
late have been asking the question
whether the Bank of California
people would now take revenge on
their enemies. 1t is a queer coin
cidence that the 25th day of August
should prove so unfortunate for the
big banks of the Coast. On that
date, in 1875, Ralston's dead body
was found, and on that day in 1887
Dresbach and Rosenfeld threw up
their big wheat deal and confessed
themselves bankrupt, and ever
since people have been trying to
guess whether the Bank of Nevada
would pull through all right. The
25th of August, 1875, came pretty
near wiping out Michael Reese,
whose fortune of SIS, 900 900 is now
divided among his sisters and rela-
tives in Chicago. He owed S., 000,-
600 the day the bank closed, and
held $500 shares of stock of the
burst institution. He was one who
stood the assessment of 80 per cent.
on the stock 80 days later, and con-
tributed to the 100000 with
which the bank resumed. The Ne
vada Bank crowd broke Ralston
and his bank by selling Ophir short
while Ralston was trying to bull it.
1t will be found ont before long that
all the time the Nevada Bank has
been bullying wheat the California
Bank has been bearing it. The old
associates of Ralston have had re-
venge enough to satisfy a Californ-
ian, and they are the most vehgeful
crowd in the world.

A CHANCE FOX NEVADA.

The c.. P. R. r. Company Las
had its eyes opened by the boom
which has lately prevailed in Cali
fornia. They were first opened by
the rush of visitors to the G. A. R.
Encampment, and the managers re-
allied that low rates of fare paid
more to the road than high ones.
They now propose to cast aside
their old policy and transport pas
sengers to California from Chicago
at SIS head. They have just dis
covered that the SIS does not alone
represent the money received from
the passenger. The man who pays
SIS for ticket comes out and set
ties, and then pays his money to
travel up and down the local road.
The increase of population brought
about by the SIS rate will soon
treble the local business OF the
road. When this low rate is put in
operation it will materially benefit
Nevada. Thousands of people who
do not care to purchase land at the
exorbitant prices now prevailing
in California will take advantage of
the low rates in this State.
Now is the time we need a live
immigration Bureau and $4,000 of
State money to back it. The last
Legislature was too slow and short
sighted to provide for this Bureau,
but let us hope that the next one
will have better sense.

tornosa is an island about ninety miles

1t was unknown TO the Chinese until

twenty-eiSht years of peaceful residence
they were expelled by the famous rebel

from 1900, 600 to 5000. 900; now it has
dwindled down to little more than
100000. Although only $50 miles long
and eighty miles in breadth, nothing is
known by civilized beings Of the in

enormous volcanic range, and it is within
this space that all the aborigines now herd
together. These natives have q slender

as to arrange defensive operations against

1000 cases of murder are committed by
these people every year. and the Chinese
authorities are completely set at defiance.
The mountainous nature Of the country
and the large numbers to be dealt with
preclude all success of the Chinese SOL

The policy of the present governor Of For
